Join us at The J or on Zoom for a special Shabbat morning service led by our beloved Rabbi Emeritus Lane Steinger. Rabbi Lane will also lead our Torah discussion on parsha Terumah.

Immediately following the service and kiddush, Rabbi Lane will lead a Lunch and Learn titled “Jewish History Through a Reconstructionist Lens.” A complimentary vegetarian or vegan lunch will be provided.

Donations are welcome in support of this and future programs and to help defray the cost of lunch.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Rabbi Steinger earned a Masters of Arts in Hebrew Letters and Rabbinic Ordination from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1998, he was awarded the Doctor of Divinity honoris causa from HUC-JIR. Rabbi Steinger previously served congregations in Pennsylvania and Michigan before returning to St. Louis as Regional Director of the Midwest Council, Union for Reform Judaism. He has served as Rabbi of Shir Hadash since 2009, becoming Rabbi Emeritus in 2016.

This program is the second in a four-part Community Education Series on Reconstructionist Judaism. It has been made possible, in part, by an Anything Grant from the Staenberg Family Foundation, a supporting foundation of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.
